Here, we offers a selection of images from the LIFE book, Titanic: The Tragedy That Shook the World: One Century Later: pictures that remind us, poignantly, not only of the phenomenal, harrowing scope of the Titanic disaster, but of its human cost — a cost measured in the lives of individuals, and families, whose world was upended, forever, on a cold night in the North Atlantic one hundred years ago.
“One hundred years later,” the book’s editors point out, “we are all paying attention again. But then: We have never not paid attention.”
